Insights from experts shaping secure development

Secure Code Warrior helped DigitalOcean build and release quality code from the start, driving digital innovation and modernization with security-aware developers.

Secure-by-Design is the latest initiative on everyone’s lips, and the Australian government, collaborating with CISA at the highest levels of global governance, is guiding a higher standard of software quality and security from vendors.

SCW Trust Agent, introduced by Secure Code Warrior, offers security leaders the visibility and control needed to scale developer-driven security within organizations. By connecting to code repositories, it assesses code commit metadata, inspects developers, programming languages used, and shipment timestamps to determine developers' security knowledge.

Kamer van Koophandel shares how it embedded secure coding into everyday development through role-based certifications, Trust Score benchmarking, and a culture of shared security ownership.

See how Paysafe's partnership with Secure Code Warrior led to a 45% boost in developer productivity and a major reduction in code vulnerabilities.

DigitalOcean's use of Secure Code Warrior training has significantly reduced security debt, allowing teams to focus more on innovation and productivity. The improved security has strengthened their product quality and competitive edge. Looking ahead, the SCW Trust Score will help them further enhance security practices and continue driving innovation.

According to a recent report from Gartner, the rampant use of shadow AI and rogue automation is further fueling the proliferation of AI vulnerabilities. Gartner notes that 32% of IT workers using generative AI tools at work say they keep them hidden from cybersecurity teams. Combined with low-code/no-code platforms and vibe coding practices, the AI copilots are greatly expanding the enterprise attack surface.

For this article, we asked a central question for security and risk leaders: "What differentiates a policy that genuinely mitigates enterprise risk from one that exists primarily to demonstrate that the organization has acknowledged AI risk?"
